Transfer Muppet Fantasy

Yeah.. every one would want Ronaldo. I think Balu made a mistake not getting him this time around. He is one of the clear standouts ,does not have the haters that Messi and CRon bring, and almost won the round for Fergus.

I am not sure about Ronaldo playing with the Barca trio TBH, but I would wait till your tactics to make up my mind either way.

I will address it. The main thing is that of course the play will be slightly different as Ronaldo uses every touch to create something. He is the complete replacement for Torres/Villa for the Tiki-naccio rather than for Messi in a much more possession based tiki-taka.
 
There was a precedent earlier with regards to installment or deferred payment, there was no objections then so it was allowed to proceed. MJJ knows about it too
Would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this before allowing/banning it henceforth
It's different here because the other deals were about getting money back if the manager raises funds by selling players in the same auction round. You are strengthening an opponent ahead of his game and want money from his earnings for winning that game.

But like I said, I wouldn't mind if the deal went through, it's not big enough to be a problem. I get why crappy believes this one is clearly against the rules though, while the other ones were still in a grey area.
 
It had to be :lol:.

Would you mind playing on Tuesday instead, MJJ? Wednesday is the Real - Bayern game and I will be out all evening with friends watching the game. I don't think it's a problem to have 2 games a day.

Just swap your game with Pol's.

BTW I never told told you Balu, I stayed in Germany for two years. Went to Univesitat Karslruhe.

I also support Germany and Italy in international football for the same reason. (Stayed in Italy as well) :D
 
No wonder you have anger issues, I doubt there was ever an international tournament in which Italian and German fans were happy at the same time :lol:.

When were you in Karlsruhe? I lived there for 6 months in 2001, shortly worked on a project with the Fraunhofer ISI.

Aha my friend did an intern in the same ISI.

I lived at Ettlinger Strasse, very close to HauptBahnof. I love Italian football fans BTW, the most passionate fans I encountered in my time in Europe. Spanish ones are by far the worst I came across.
 
Thanks Crappy

I dont mind when we play so its up to you. And yeah it was fated :lol:
 
I think you both have rock solid teams and very even ones. Whoever gets the scan-voters with them will probably win that battle.

My match-up against PaceMe is interesting too.

Robben VS Capdevila - Rematch of the 2010 WC Final where Capdevila got the best of him and Spain kept a clean sheet.
Lahm/Schweinsteiger lost the final of Euro 08 and the semi-final in WC '10 where Torres played instead of Ronaldo and Spain still managed to score.
Stam VS Ronaldo Rematch of the '98 WC match-up where Ronaldo scored in the 1-1 game which saw Netherland go out on penalties.
Messi VS Ronaldo How will Messi co-op without dominating possession and relying mainly on counters - how will Ronaldo handle dominating possession and attack in tight spaces more often.

I'm just gonna get my team to kick the shit out of you and score on the counter. All possession no penetration.

Tony would love to have prime Jeremies in his team :lol:
 
Has anyone else problems with footballuser.com at the moment? I can't get on their website.
 
Very strange, now it works again. Thanks guys.
 
Starting with my write-up now, kick off is at 9am, right? I should have sent my stuff to Pol in time :nervous:
 
Once Balu sends in his, the match will kick off, great matchup this one :)
I sent a 2nd version with a few small changes, would be great if you could use this one. Thanks Pol, as usual your work is appreciated, great job.
